Now that's out of the way, they also said he MAY be back at some point in training camp and not all the way to week 1.
Armando is reporting it was a similar injury to one that Jelani Jenkins sustained last year that caused him to miss one game. I don't think that is true. He broke his foot in college in the last game but I don't recall anything other than him leaving the Baltimore game early last year. How is that the same as surgery? I don't know.
Hopefully this is not a lingering issue. Good thing we signed Jennings.
It is supposed to be an 8 week recovery so that puts him back for week 1 preseason.

“Are they bone grafting him? If they are, that’s going to be longer than eight weeks,” Chao said. “If they’re just putting in a slightly bigger screw, you’ve got a chance at eight weeks, but I don’t know if it’s a guarantee.”
Jones had a bone graft procedure in 2013. Robert Anderson, the doctor who performed his surgery, performed a recent study looking at 21 elite athletes — including 12 football players — who had surgery to replace a previous screw with a larger one. All 21 of those players also underwent a bone graft procedure.
They all made a full recovery, and only one player suffered a refracture, and that was in a car accident.
The average player returned to action in 12.3 weeks, with a range of six-to-16 weeks.
A 12-week recovery means Parker would return just as the Dolphins are opening up the regular season in Washington.
